Kubo is unlikely to return to Madrid

It’s hard to tell if this is a destabilization maneuver before the game or just plain ignorance Carlo Ancelottibut in Real there is no indication that Real Madrid wants to recover Take Kubo and it is judged that it is unlikely that the white club will do it and wants to pay about 33 million euros for Kawasaki to the same club, txuri urdin, to whom it is sold for 6.5 just one year later.

“He is doing very well and we are looking at him. We will see the next few months. The bad thing is that there is a lot of competition here and there is no minute for everyone,” he said ancelotti in the press conference before the match against Real in Anoeta. To re-sign the Japanese, as Madrid did in 2019 before tipping off an unsuccessful transfer journey, the entity led by Florentino Perez He has to negotiate with Real and, logically, get the green light from a footballer who reached the peak of his career at Anoeta. And it is that the Gipuzkoan club owns 100% of the federative rights of the player and, in addition, the transfer contract signed in July 2022, does not contemplate any purchase option of Real Madrid, as of existing, for example, in the case of Diego Llorente.

50% of capital gains

Real Madrid has reserved 50% of the capital gains in the event of a future transfer to another team and a right of first refusal if another club also comes for him. This means that, to get Kubo, technically the white club has to pay 60 million euros of his termination clause, although thanks to the agreement signed with Real, he will recover around 27, so the signing will work for for about 33. If, for example, Chelsea paid 60 million of his clause, Anoeta’s club would also receive 33 and Madrid, the remaining 27. At the moment, ‘Transfermarkt’ rates him of 15 million euros, just double its market value last summer, when Real signed him.

However, at Real they do not believe that Real Madrid will turn around next summer in an effort to re-sign the Japanese footballer. The first is that, if they were really interested in him, they would have imposed a purchase option of about 10 million 10 months ago, which would have facilitated the operation. Furthermore, in the event that hut has delighted and convinced the white coaches for the good campaign he is conducting at Real, Anoeta understands that Real Madrid will have difficulty justifying to its partners the cost, the fact of signing a player who was sold a year before , a rental type of 27 million euros for one season.

Back on the bench?

That is also hard to believe hut Willing to wear white again a year after signing a five-year contract with Real, where the first year in Donostia was personal and collective fullness, with seven goals scored which means seven victories and a clear unity at the Anoeta stands. Returning to the Bernabéu, as he himself warned ancelotti in a controversial statement, it means losing the leading role he now has at Real and a lot of time on the bench.

And finally, everyone’s guess is that Carlo Ancelotti isn’t Real Madrid’s coach next season, so there’s little credibility given to him when he talks about squad planning for the future.

hut He was a key element in Real’s attack and his arrival brought a breath of fresh air to Anoeta, despite the fact that his acquisition did not inspire unity among royal fans. The Japanese were captivated by his way of playing and his way of acting off the field and expressing himself, very natural and without much filter.
